3 A NOTE OF WELCOME 03 Dear Students, Members and Friends, A NOTE OF The academic year 2012/13 saw the launch of the ILF s next decade of plans, activities, events and goals. The number of conferences, guest lectures, special seminars and discussions forums held at the ILF has significantly increased over the years and this has definitely led to an increase in the public awareness of the ILF s strengths in the fields of law and finance. One just has to flip through the pages of this yearbook to see for oneself the numerous events which were held during the academic year. We are happy about this development as it shows the importance of the ILF as a policy center a forum for discussions and exchange! In October 2012, we welcomed 46 top graduates from 22 nations into our LL.M. Finance program 2012/13. Like always, these international students bring with them a huge variety of cultural, social and linguistic backgrounds. Studying hard and having fun together for that one year have brought them together, thus giving many of them the special gift of having friends for life. Once again, we were honored to have Prof. Guido Ferrarini from University of Genoa Law School joining us in the summer semester as the Commerzbank Foundation Visiting Professor. His course entitled European and Comparative Corporate Governance was thoroughly enjoyed by our LL.M. Finance students. The Summer School (Sommerlehrgang) and Spring School (Frühjahrslehrgang) were well attended by highly-qualified law graduates from German-speaking countries. The participants had the valuable opportunity during those two weeks to meet and learn from many lawyers working in our sponsor law firms as well as representatives from various banks and regulatory authorities. We are happy to announce that four new books published by De Gruyter Recht Berlin were added to the ILF Series in 2013, namely Das Neue Schuldverschreibungsrecht, Collective Action Clauses and The Restructuring of Sovereign Debt, The Bank Recovery and the Resolution Directive and Gemeinwohl im Wirtschaftsstrafrecht. Of course, it goes without saying that the number of ILF working papers continued to increase. With a spike in the interest of Chinese educational institutions in visiting and having discussions with the ILF, coupled with the feedback acquired during the study trip made by ILF staff in April 2013 to universities situated in the cities of Beijing, Chengdu, Nanjing and Shanghai of the People s Republic of China, we are now looking into the possibility of starting a new LL.M. International Finance program for graduates from Asia (in particular mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan) in October We have started our next 10 years with lots of hope, drive and commitment. With the continued support and encouragement of our sponsors, faculty members, alumni, students and friends, we are confident to say that we are on the right track! WELCOME! Prof. Dr. Dres. h.c.

The Class of 2013 s SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY PROJECT THE CSR (Class Social Responsibility) PROJECT of the Class of 2013 Girl Effect supports the special needs of girls in the world for education and for equal opportunities. It builds on the fact that the Girl Effect brings about changes when the power and potential of girls are raised to global awareness. For this goal, the ILF students of 2012/13 chose to support a project in Uganda on Teen Girls Health & Empowerment. The project will allow girls to attend workshops which will give them the skills, education, peer support and role models they need in order to succeed in life and be leaders in their communities. These are, in particular, skills and lessons which they do not acquire or are not taught in their home environment or in school. Under the lead of Ms. Ege Berber, an ILF student from Turkey, the project work of the ILF Class of 2013 increases the awareness of this important social issue. On 1 July 2013, a group of students including Ms. Michelle Dalton, Ms. Xiaoxing Zhao, Ms. Alexia Arampatzi, Ms. Chiara Fogo and Ms. Severina Trifonova informed the visitors about the initiative via a stand and illustrations posted on a board at a conference co-hosted by the ILF.

15 Student Internships TEACHING 15 Student Internships: A TASTE OF THE PROFESSIONAL WORLD One of the unique selling points of our LL.M. Finance Program is the fact that it is heavily practiceoriented. This is emphasized by the work experience which our students acquire when they do their internships with our sponsors such as international law firms, commercial banks, central banks, consulting firms, institutions or regulatory authorities. The following sets out some examples of the type of work done by our students during their internships in 2013: One student was engaged in the International Capital Markets Practice of Allen&Overy. She assisted in preparing the European Market Infrastructure Regulation presentation, the consolidated version of the German Banking Act and a presentation on the Securities Market of the Russian Federation. She was also involved in drafting the terms and conditions of CMS range accrual notes issued by a Dutch bank, disclosure with respect to certain German law governed bonds in the prospectus of a Canadian Covered Bonds Issuer and the analysis of cases of the European Court of Justice and German national courts on whether the interpretation of national law is in conformity with the application of EU law. The practical experience gained during their studies with us is indeed a major advantage for many students of ours. The invaluable opportunity of being able to set up possible networks with representatives of our sponsors for their future career development is highly valued and appreciated. A student was assigned to the Financial Law Division of the Directorate General - Legal Services of the European Central Bank. During his time there, he gained an overview of the legal framework of the ESCB and an insight into the structure and operation of the ECB. He was entrusted with legal research in the area of EU and financial law as well as the exercise by the ECB of its advisory role on draft Union and national legislation. In particular, he was involved in the preparatory work on the development of the legal framework for the Single Supervisory Mechanism. Our students completed their internships with one of the following sponsors and supporters of the ILF during the semester break from February to April 2013 or in the summer of We are thankful for the continuous support we have been receiving. During her internship at Milbank,Tweed, Hadley & McCloy, a student was assigned to the Finance Team where she conducted research regarding proposed amendments to IAS 17 and treatment of leases under IFRS as well as the consolidation of SPVs pursuant to IFRS and the proposed amendments in this respect. Further, she also carried out research work and prepared memorandums on the enforcement of land charges in Ireland and the eligibility of such land charges for reserve stock purposes of German insurance companies, issuance of mandatory convertible bonds as well as liquidity requirements under Basel III. Allen & Overy Ashurst Baker & McKenzie Clifford Chance Debevoise & Plimpton At White & Case, a student was assigned to the Banking and Finance Department where she analyzed the CRR/CRD IV-Package and the RRD Guidelines in relation to bail-in instruments. She also conducted research on the financing of infrastructure (e.g. credit funds, project bonds, European Investment Bank Bonds) and Whole Business Securitization (WBS) as a financing method and participated in the analysis of a WBS transaction. In addition, she worked on securities documents in connection with various fi nancing transactions and assisted in preparing a legal opinion relating to interest rates restrictions in the USA and Great Britain. A student completed her internship at the Office for Strategic Issues within the Legal Department at the Deutsche Bundesbank. Part of her responsibilities included making legal assessments on the applicability of the European Council Directive on a common system of fi nancial transaction tax (FTT Directive) for central banks, Deutsche Bundesbank clients and Deutsche Bundesbank transactions with other central banks, international organization and credit institutions and preparing a legal memorandum on the FTT Directive. She also participated in a meeting of an expert panel for the restructuring and resolution of financial institutions and had to prepare memorandums on institutions and country profi les as well as the results discussed in the meeting.
